Musicians across all genres have voiced their grief, their support for the LGBTQ community, and opposition to America’s gun laws, after 50 people were shot dead at a gay club in Orlando, Florida.

The Pulse nightclub was midway through their Latin night when Omar Mateen burst in and killed 50 people, wounding 53 more, in the deadliest mass shooting in recent US history. He was then shot dead by police.

His father subsequently told the media that Mateen had “hatred in his heart,” having become angered after seeing two men kissing in Miami.

Many musicians have taken to social media to voice their feelings.

 

All.
